assisting departmental supervisors and managers with workplace problem prevention by fairly and effectively managing staff employees according to University policy

If you, as the staff employee, need help solving a work-related problem, the first step is to speak with your immediate supervisor. If talking with your supervisor is not a valid option, we encourage you to voice your concern to higher levels of authority in your line of supervision. You may also seek advice on ways to deal with workplace problems by contacting the Employee Relations Director or referring to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
